[SOLVED]C++ slot in QML

ExorcistInc

Hi!
I have abstract class, let it be IParent, with this structure:
@class IParent : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public slots:
virtual void parentSlot() = 0;
};@

And its child Child:
@class Child : public IParent
{
public slots:
void parentSlot() = {//slot definition};
void childSlot() = {//slot definition};
};@

In main.cpp Child class registed as
@qmlRegisterType<Child>("package", 1, 0, "Child");@

In QML file when I try to execute childSlot() I get this error:
@TypeError: Property 'childSlot' of object IParent (0x3625880) is not a function@

How it is possible to fix it and point QML to execute Child slot instead of IParent?

Hi,

The thing I currently see is that your are missing the Q_OBJECT macro in your Child class

Is it necessary to use Q_OBJECT macro, if it exists in parent class?

In real application I have IBluetoothProvider as parent class and SppProvider and BlueEvaProvider as its children. SppProvider does not have Q_OBJECT macro or new slots, it is only defines IBluetoothProvider methods and works fine:)

Adding Q_OBJECT to BlueEvaProvider class gives me errors like:
LNK2001 and LNK2019 - unresolved external symbol

Full error output:

Yes, all classes that derives from QObject and are using signals and slots must include the Q_OBJECT macro.

You must re-run qmake when adding/removing that macro from a class

Oh, yes, it is really helped! Thanks a lot!
